Many of the airports on the main service routes are also ready if not near
ready. They main revenue routes will be Europe to the middle East and Asia.
emirates are having 45 A380s and see Dubai developing as one of the biggest
hubs in the world.


And JFK?

Or will we be spared this monstrosity, the way we were (more or less)
spared the Concorde?

I flew over and back this month on 747s, which I had sworn never to
fly again. Happily the plane was mostly empty going, and largely empty
returning, so I got the best of both worlds: three or four seats to
sleep on, and fairly fast luggage retrieval.
